Creating Franchise Pages Wherever Appropriate

Go To

This thread is for questions regarding creating or cutting pages in Franchise/ namespace and Franchise Index.

As a reminder, being a Series Franchise doesn't mean a Work can have a Franchise/ page. For that it needs existing (not Red Link) and connected (official releases for the same trademark) Work pages in 3 different Mediums, not 3 pages for the same property in general.

If it doesn't meet those criteria, the section about related releases can be on page of the first installment.

    Original first post 
Now, I don't know about you, but we don't seem to have that many Franchise pages.

For instance, Video Games. Take a look at this page. I guarantee that we don't even have that many listed in the Franchise namespace.

Also, I set up Franchise pages for Duke Nukem, Deer Hunter, and Grand Theft Auto.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to list multiple games in a Franchise page as opposed to a Video Game page?

So the JW Edwards mess is pretty much cleaned up. The only existing thing is Music.Skum-Faux, which no one else has commented on. Thoughts? If no one comments, I'm going to PM the creator telling him to remake it in Darth Wiki (without the hyphen, of course) if he wants, and then cutlist it.

[up][up] Just cut. Make sure the info is on the page for the TV series, though.

[up] Move to VideoGame.Ys, which is currently a redirect to the Franchise/ page. There's no issues with collision since no game is just titled Ys.

The Grey's Anatomy page is mainly just a list of the different works and there is no information that isn't already on the series page, so I cut listed it.

Similar to Franchise.Ys, Franchise.Fatal Frame needs to be moved to VideoGame.Fatal Frame, which currently redirects to the Franchise page.

Should Sonic Boom be considered a franchise? It has games, a TV show, and a comic book, but at the same time it's a pretty small branch of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.

If it has pages in at least three mediums, then it can have a page in the multimedia franchise namespace. Proportion to other multimedia franchises don't enter into it.

I sent ~The Laughing Fist a namespace notifier and this post will send them another PM. The page looks pretty good (I didn't double-check for Speculative Troping), so a move to Western Animation should solve the only problem.

Children Of The Corn only has films. And Jak And Daxter only has video games.

So, this is where Franchise pages with < 3 media are handled?


Franchise.Ratchet And Clank only has two types of pages...

Video Game and Film...

But, there is a Manga, "Ratchet & Clank: Bang Bang Bang! Critical Danger of the Galaxy Legend" that could be easily spun off, as we have a plot description and title...

If I do that to solve the "3 Media Needed" issue, what should I call it? Just Manga.Ratchet And Clank?

Also, VideoGame.Ratchet And Clank is currently serving to disambig the two games called that.

I have no idea where to ask so send me to the right place if this isn't it but I was looking to undo a redirect, specifically the one which currently redirects ComicBook/Impulse to Franchise/TheFlash as I was going to create a page for the Impulse book.

[up] I deleted the redirect, so you can edit the page now.

Update on Ratchet and Clank. There's actually a comicbook, it just isn't totally clear, and isn't just ComicBook.Ratchet And Clank:

Franchise.The Conjuring Universe has recently been launched even thought there's only films so far.

Can I just make a barebones Franchise.Horatio Hornblower page listing the media, since there's Film, Series, and Literature, already?

Maybe just move Main to Franchise?
